Equestrian legacy plans revealed

The Federation's Legacy for London Advisory Group has set out key recommendations for how the 2012 Games might be used to increase facilities and opportunities for Equestrian sports in London.

Suggestions include setting up new riding schools in London, creating a 'London Horse Network' to support the local riding community, and establishing a schools programme for children in the capital.

Led by Barbara Cassani, former Chair of London's bid to host the 2012 Games, the advisory group hopes that the ideas and initiatives set out for London will also be rolled out to other parts of the UK.

The British Equestrian Federation will now create a legacy group to draw up a five-year plan based on these recommendations.
